Hi Peter,
You have been busy... I still think there are structures here that look like palaeoscolecid, but often this takes SEM to confirm (even when I'm holding the specimen). More photos probably aren't going to be enough - we need to look at it in a different way. A latex cast might be very useful, though - any chance of that?

Hi Joe:
The specimen is too delicate for latex cast... the wormy object will probably fragment in the soft burrow matrix. SEM will have to wait some day.... I also have metallurigical microscopes that I might attempt to image the fossil.... at least the palaeoscolecid idea is not totally dead.

Thanks Steve... I am using a 33" projection of 3-10X Microscope objective lens into a camera body... all manual focus...

Joe: Do you see any worm like structures... with the new improved resolution optic configuration and technique... ?
